CMOS Image Sensor, 2.3 MP, Global Shutter

The VITA 2000 is a 2/3 inch Widescreen Ultra eXtended Graphics Array (WUXGA) CMOS image sensor configurable in HD format (1920 x 1080) or 4:3 format (1600 X 1200). The high sensitivity 4.8 µm x 4.8 µm pixels support pipelined and triggered global shutter readout modes and can also be operated in a low noise rolling shutter mode. In rolling shutter mode, the sensor supports correlated double sampling readout, reducing noise and increasing the dynamic range.

The sensor has on-chip programmable gain amplifiers and 10-bit A/D converters. The integration time and gain parameters can be reconfigured without any visible image artifact. Optionally the on-chip automatic exposure control loop (AEC) controls these parameters dynamically. The image's black level is either calibrated automatically or can be adjusted by adding a user programmable offset.

A high level of programmability using a four wire serial peripheral interface enables the user to read out specific regions of interest. Up to 8 regions can be programmed, achieving even higher frame rates.

The image data interface of the V1-SN/SE part consists of four LVDS lanes, facilitating frame rates up to 92 frames per second. Each channel runs at 620 Mbps. A separate synchronization channel containing payload information is provided to facilitate the image reconstruction at the receive end. The V2-SN-SE part provides a parallel CMOS output interface at reduced frame rate.

The VITA 2000 is packaged in a 52-pin LCC package and is available in a monochrome and color version. Contact your local onsemi office for more information.
